Dear Packaging Committee,

I have placed a draft Guidelines document on the wiki for your
consideration. This document covers the packaging of Emacs and XEmacs
add-on packages, and provides two template spec files with the
intention of lowering the inertial barrier to developing packages for
(X)Emacs. The doc can be found here:

http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/PackagingDrafts/EmacsenAddOns

And I have added it to the table here:

http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/PackagingDrafts/DraftsTodo

This document doesn't attempt to change guidelines in any way, but
rather clarify the situation as presented in the Package Naming
Guidelines, and codify them in the form of spec templates.

Comments gladly received!

Best wishes,
Jonathan
